A. Intro

1. The Cold War began with the division of Europe. It can only end when Europe is whole.

- President George H.W. Bush

End the cold war was to All democliatic,All become communtist or All different?

2. At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.

- President Harry Truman

Every nation are choice one of the lifes there are two ways to live one is democliatic and one is communtist.U.S president Truman want to choice one.

3. "The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do."

‍-Joseph Stalin


Fixed elections ,controlled ,cotiupltaion.

4. The Truman Doctrine-rule ,laws = the gov't policy.-what is you believe doing.

‍Speech delivered by President Harry S. Truman to Congress - March 12, 1947

"To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations. The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes. This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace, and hence the security of the United States.

The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will. The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation in violation of the Yalta agreement in Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria. I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.

At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life.

The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.

I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.

I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way. I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid which is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes..."

The USSR thought that the capitalism favored few people to different class.I fthe cummunism spread then the American will be become the another communism.

  2. ‍What did the Soviets think was so bad about America and capitalism?The capitalism give many people right.



‍Communism explained a bit more

  • Origins of communism are in the writings and theories of Karl Marx in the mid-1800s. He co-wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848.
  • Communism is a theory about society and economics: socio-economics. It is a belief system about how society and the economy should work - it is an idea of justice.
  • Communists are therefore often called Marxists.
  • Three key Marx quotes:
    • From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
    • The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
    • The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

  • When communism has been put into practice in different countries like the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, etc., it has often been very different from how Marx thought it would be. It has usually been accompanied by very strict, ruthless dictatorship and corruption. It has usually become associated with a lack of rights and freedoms. Communism has never been purely implemented like Marx thought it could be.
